For this slow, loose-cheek'd vintner was no less than father to Will Davenant, our Laureate, and had belike read no other verse in his life but those at the bottom of his own pint-pots. "Top of the stairs," says he, indicating my way, "and open the door ahead of you, if y'are the young gentleman Master Killigrew spoke of."
The young vintner whom Carmichael had pushed against the wall that day smiled from under the deep shade of his hat, drawn down well over his face. "Gretchen, who was that speaking to you?" "Herr Carmichael, the American consul." "Carmichael!" The arm in Gretchen's stiffened. "What is it, Leo?" "Nothing. Only, I grow mad with rage when any of these gentlemen speak to you. Gentlemen!
If a dark colored, astringent wine is desired, we can ferment on the husks, and leave it on the lees a longer period. There is a medium course, in this as in everything else; and the intelligent vintner will soon find the rules which should guide him, by practice with different varieties.
The landlord uttered an exclamation and went out hurriedly, closing the door behind him. A moment and his voice could be heard, scolding and persuading in the passage. "Umph!" the vintner muttered, looking from one to the other with a humorous eye. "It seems to me that the Venerable Company of Pastors have not yet expelled the old Adam." Open flew the door and cut short the word.
But that will not hinder. I shall have enough for two." Gretchen saw no reason why she should tell them of the princess' generosity. "But how does he take it?" asked Carmichael, with a motion of his head toward the vintner, half hidden behind a newspaper. "He doesn't like the idea at all. But the Herr Direktor says that I am a singer, and that some day I shall be rich and famous."
"You accused him of being a Jugendheit spy," broke in Gretchen, who was growing impatient under these questions, which seemed to go nowhere in particular. "You be silent," warned the sub-chief. "I am here because of that accusation," said the vintner. "What have you to say?" "I deny it." "That is easy to do. But can you prove it?" "It is for you to prove, Herr." "Read this." It was the cutting.
It is wine there; it is vinegar this side of the Rhine." "France," said the vintner moodily. "Do you think there will be any France in the future?" Carmichael laughed. "France is an incurable cosmic malady; it will always be. It may be beaten, devastated, throttled, but it will not die." "You are fond of France?" "Very." "Do you think it wise to say so here?"
Anon the coach comes: in the mean time there coming a news thither with his horse to go over, that told us he did come from Islington this morning; and that Proctor the vintner of the Miter in Wood-street, and his son, are dead this morning there, of the plague; he having laid out abundance of money there, and was the greatest vintner for some time in London for great entertainments.
Central, within the scuttle-butt itself, stands an iron pump, which, connecting with the immense water-tanks in the hold, furnishes an unfailing supply of the much-admired Pale Ale, first brewed in the brooks of the garden of Eden, and stamped with the brand of our old father Adam, who never knew what wine was. We are indebted to the old vintner Noah for that.
If you have any fillies to break, use your own pastures. I'm a vintner." He banged the table yet again. "Why, I wouldn't marry the Princess Hildegarde if she was the last woman on earth!" "Thank you!" said the princess sweetly. "You're welcome," said the prince. "Silence!" bellowed the duke. "Doppelkinn, take care; this is an affront, not one to be lightly ignored.
